Making Fun of Things from 2010

I was casually browsing the web and somehow came upon this video demonstrating a 325 dollar messenger bag called “the vandal” Ok I was looking at Craigslist and I saw some dude selling one of them in Manhattan. The name seemed so dumb I had to look it up. The store looks boutique style, I don’t know what you call it. Bespoke? The website is like third wave coffee bar website template. .. Anyway

Grocery Run – Vandal Roll-Top Backpack from Mission Workshop on Vimeo.

I have to admit I really got sucked into the whole thing. The front brake on the shitty track bike. The wheelie. The mismatched, ugly, red anodized hub. The guy’s whole kit. Time warp.

What awesome lifestyle marketing. The vandal. i thought the add was going to be a rip off of the kylie minogue sometime samurai video. But naw, nothing that interesting. This brother goes to the mercado to get 8 million limes and a pineapple to go with his Tecate bro. Gotta have limes for the Tecate buuuuuudy. More Tecate = More Skids! Did you see how he knocked those limes into “The Vandal”? Arm sweep bro. He does some epic tricks on the way-Like a sick wheelie, and he doesn’t lock up- a real 2010 man. That’s for sure. Is this guy into gravel now? Ripping it in the grav bro.

All that stuff is dumb:
Check out this cool music video from 2005. Man nice wool jerseys huh? Who are those guys?

There’s another video for “the Vandal” where a more pro SF dude goes surfing in the morning, and then has breakfast. He has a cyclocross bike or something. I just skimmed that one. He’s riding all over the place with a spare bike on his back or something. You could just put it over your shoulder, but hey why not take the whole thing apart and stick it on your back. I will note this dude buys Red Stripe instead of Tecate because he’s more grown up and likes reggae.

I don’t know what kind of music the first dude listens to. Thats up to you to figure out-Like hipster bar jukebox hits of the 80’s.

You know some shit like “Welcome to the Jungle” comes on at the bar and he goes all crazy and stands on a chair and screams.
